Come On, What Does This Remind You Of?

Congratulations to Mr. Jeremy Masten for correctly naming "Knights of Cydonia" by Muse as the Sunday Song of the Day.

Since it appears that no one who reads this blog can tell me about "Agricultural Leadership/Leading Agriculture", I have been forced to move our discussion to other topics.

First, a hearty Running Down a Dream congratulations to Mr. Trey Watten on being drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 7th Round of the First-Year Players Draft. In addition to his status as a dominating pitcher for my alma mater, Trey is also a proud member of Gamma Sigma Phi, and I think I speak for all past and current Gamma Sigs and Wildcats in wishing Trey the best of luck trying to make it to "The Show".

Second, the New York Times has a fantastic story today on the highs and lows of cuisine at all 30 major league stadiums. At the Ballpark, they give high marks to the prime rib buffet in the Diamond Club, which I'm sure that everyone frequents during their trips to see the Rangers battle, and low marks to "the pretzel dog". In the provided photo, the pretzel dog looks like a giant kolache, which, as anyone who has been through West, Texas, can tell you, is a great feat of culinary invention. In my opinion, they left out the best part of the Ballpark's menu, the garlic fries at numerous locations throughout the park, which are as enjoyable to eat as they are horrendous to smell.

At Minute Maid Park, the reviewers loved the fajitas from Rosa's Taqueria and loathed the superstar dog with cheese from Union Station. In a story that will shock absolutely no one, I had the superstar dog with cheese during my visit to the Juice Box a few weeks ago, and let me tell you, it may have tasted like a used Goodyear, but there is something fundamentally askew with someone that does not enjoy a frankfurter during a viewing of America's Pasttime.

Mr. Scott,

Please go against the wishes of most of your readers and discuss Van Nisterroy's was he/wasn't he offside from the Netherlands/Italy game yesterday.

Didn't Prof. CivPro teach us that The New York Times is full of liberal despotic terrorists who hate America? Hating ballpark hot dogs = hating America.

Surely they complained only of the prices. $4 for a hot dog? Geesh!

Scotty J,
I'm with Tuegel, except I want you to go against your own morals and discuss the officiating of the Lakers/Celts game 2.

I can vouch for the Fajita's at the Juice box. They are quite good, and aren't ridiculously priced, like most everything else at the ballpark

Dear JScott,

Thank you for all the janktastic gear you left in your shed. Specifically, for the 5 tents and 10 sleeping bags we got to replace. Love,

MaryAnn, Dustin, Sammie, Allen, and Spencer
